On a graph with the interest rate on the vertical axis and the quantity of money on the horizontal axis, what does a rise in the interest rate do?
Correct answer A. Decreases the quantity of money demanded
Explanation
The interest rate is the opportunity cost of holding money, so a higher rate makes people hold less money. Because the rate is on the axis, this is a movement along the curve, not a shift.
